“Ed Miliband’s plan to erect thousands of pylons across Britain has been criticised after an official report found that burying electricity cables underground can be cheaper.” telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/10/1…

@SamMaclaine @jesstfleming @RichardRout @nationalgriduk There's been an independent report which looks at the need case in East Anglia. We're fine to go for 2034/5 instead of 2030. It's specifically about need and demand. No point rushing a bad solution through.

@NikkiMaguire22 @PylonsEAnglia @nationalgriduk @nationalgrid I will keep repeating offshore grid is the right and only viable option. For future generations can’t let our countryside be destroyed. In other projects @nationalgrid are going offshore why not this one?

@GeoffAlcoe @PylonsEAnglia @nationalgriduk @nationalgrid We need to keep repeating, NGESO say adopting an offshore grid approach saves consumers £2bn , is greener and quicker. Stay positive - we will win, we can’t allow our countryside to be destroyed.

Those who want an alternative to East Anglian pylons (offshore grid or HVDC underground): - 32,000 people who signed the petition - the region's MPs - 3 county councils - the region's district councils - large numbers of parish councils Those who want pylons: @nationalgriduk

For me @IpswichTown is the story of the season. No parachute payments, spent just £4.7m in the past 2 seasons,shrewd loan deals, clear philosophy, terrific manager, front foot,expansive style, losing just 10 games last 2 seasons. As near as you’ll get to modern football romance.

@nationalgrid For the next generation, avoid these unsightly pylons ruining the countryside and go for the lower cost offshore option.

We’re consulting on proposals for a new electricity connection between Norwich and Tilbury and we want to hear your views. Our plans are part of the biggest overhaul of our energy network in a generation, the Great Grid Upgrade. Visit our website to learn more and take part.

@Le77y64 Simply the best!!

@RosieP4 Well done @RosieP4 and team @PylonsEAnglia we’re heading in the right direction…discussion about an offshore grid, saving the countryside, environment and consumers £6b with a strategic offshore grid. Keep the pressure on guys.

Pylons: is it that as a cost plus contractor @nationalgrid get paid more if they spend more? Their report shows offshore grid in East Anglia £2Bn cheaper than proposed pylons. nationalgrideso.com/document/18293… Build offshore grid: cheaper,faster, less destructive @PylonsEAnglia

@RachelReevesMP Shocking how little understanding demonstrated of underlying issues. Green energy is not green if pylons used destroy countryside and cultural heritage. @PylonsEAnglia
